Farewell to Sergey Karasev

Re: #19: Sergey Karasev

Come on, man. He's a Euro. He's gonna flop.

Yeah, there are no American players who flop in the league.

Re: #19: Sergey Karasev

Okay...perhaps I should have said, "He's a white foreigner. He's gonna flop."

And Argentinean is basically Euro. Come on.

American education system at its best!

i don't think AK47 will opt out, Kevin Love wants him to stay.

My guess is SF will be his long term position once he bulks up a bit. I think Euro players have a hard time transitioning to the physical nature of the NBA. It'l take some getting used to. SG will be easier for him initially.

Are we not allowed to joke about anything here without people getting butthurt?

Two questions:

Who would you guys compare Karasev to and what do you all believe his ceiling is?

I think a more perimeter oriented Kukoc. Maybe a better passer. Some of the clips of Kukoc in the video below almost look identical to Karasev highlights. As for ceiling? Maybe a little Manu? I'm not just trying to pick left handed guys. But Karasev has a very high ceiling. I think he might be this teams 6th man even at our peak.

I said it earlier in this thread, he reminds me of a mix of Klay Thompson and Thunder Dan Majerle. He's got much better vision and athleticism than he gets credit for. His shooting is his calling card.

Not sure what he did today but here is a link to his profile from an EU site

Re: #19: Sergey Karasev

Still wondering...how did he fall this far? I think he would be #11 on my board. High potential player; very good shooter, makes the right play displaying high basketball IQ, and is underratedly athletic.

Still think this is the draft we will remember most.
